Verdict

TARAJ sets the bar pretty high on his 2 runs at the Curragh at the end of the summer and gets the nod for the Dermot Weld team. The Old Nine made a promising start to his career when third in a C&D maiden a fortnight ago and is second choice ahead of Heliogabalus, who also arrives on the back of a placed effort over C&D. Market support for any of the Joseph O'Brien newcomers would also bring them into the reckoning.

  1. TARAJ (IRE)
